Tuesday 13 June 2006 – MRI scan and Results
CURED………….
I could not have had better news today, not only cured but also no further treatment required. I am now back to 3 monthly checks at the hospital.
I had forgotten how difficult it can be to get comfortable on the MRI scanner bed and remain still for 20 minutes but it was done and the results proved to be good.
After the scan we had a longer wait than expected to see the Consultant but when I did it was with one of the main Consultants involved with my original case 14 years ago.
He was amazed the cancer had come back after such a long time, not breaking the record, but he did say he would have to rewrite his papers on the cancer type [MFH]
I’d had because it should not have returned at all!
I cannot tell you the relief felt not only by me, even though I still don’t think it has sunk in yet, but also with my family and those that have been in touch throughout my illness.
Thank you to all those who have helped me through this illness especially the majority of exceptional people within the NHS who know how to make a patient feel cared for.
Just the next big hurdle to get over then – return to work, Yuk!
MFH - Malignant fibrous histiocytoma This is a very rare type of bone cancer that occurs in adults. It is usually found in the arms or legs, especially around the knee joint.
